The point of climbing games is (generally) to be the first to go out, so players don't all play at the same rate. And play doesn't necessarily end once it gets back to the person who led it can keep going around as people have legal plays. In climbing games, one player leads one or more cards, and other players play over those cards if they can and if they choose to. So everyone plays the same number of cards and the hand ends for all players simultaneously. In trick-taking games, everyone plays at the same rate-that is, one person leads one card, and others play one card. It's a climbing game, a type of game often confused with trick-taking games, because they're similar.
